Trying to lose fat successfully can be challenging and sometimes even when you think you’re doing everything right you could be unintentionally sabotaging your results. Check out 6 common reasons people can’t lose fat even when they think they’re doing everything right.
#You’re Working Out Too Hard
You work out so hard that you’re too tired to do anything else and become less active throughout the day, lowering your overall daily calorie burn.
#You Think Eating Healthy Is Enough
You’re feeling really good about yourself because you’re only eating “healthy” foods and you think you can eat freely and in doing so you’ll automatically lose weight. Wrong! The reality is you still need to pay attention to your total calorie intake.
#You’re Too Restrictive With Your Diet
You’ve cut out all the junk foods and have even gone Keto and vegan.
Now you’re getting massive cravings leading to you binge eating when you can no longer RESIST the foods you love to eat.
#You’re Getting ≤5 Hours Sleep
When you sleep ≤5 hours a night, you end up burning less fat the next day.
This also increases your hunger and cravings the following day making it harder for you to stick to your diet.
#You Think Weight Loss = Fat Loss
It doesn’t. At least not always.
Your unhealthy obsession with seeing your weight go down means that when it doesn’t or doesn’t go down quickly enough, you feel like giving up or you succumb to overeating.
#You Believe In Calories Burned
The cardio machine tells you that you burned 800 calories so you decide that you can eat back 800 calories.
Wrong! Machines and fitness trackers are not accurate and can be 20-30% off.
